I named most of my mechanical pets after the noises they should make. Clink, Clack, Clank, etc. I named my fluxfire kitten Whrrr. I named my dragonlings the latin names for the seasons and all my frogs after forms of alcohol (with the exception of Ralph the Biletoad). I try to stay in themes as well, because it makes the naming process soooo much faster. I named most of my beasts after the Indian tribes that used them as totems. At least one mouse had to be Reepicheep. My Rapana Whelk I named Uzi because it made me laugh. My guildmates have been having a field day naming some of them...Terrance the Terrible Turnip and Francis the Yeti. I named the spiders after all the noises I make when I see one and my bat Bruce Wayne. My chickens are named Piccata, Marsala and Tso. Fleep the Curious Oracle Hatchling and Grawr the Curious Wolvar Pup. It's fun, but I have to do it in stages...soooo many to name.

Adoring your globule's name. Very brilliantly chosen. And I did notice your witty way of using the DIVA gals from the Race in there.

All my 25s have names, as do all my pets that I intend to level to 25. (I've also helped name a guildie's pets, and she has a LOT of level 25s, I had to stop naming hers, lol). Most of my names are based on the teams I have things in (via addon), here are teams...

I confess I haven't really started naming pets, although I do tend to name hunter pets. But reading this thread has got my interest up. Right now the only one I've named is a yellow moth I called Fairy after the little fairy Mothra in Rebirth of Mothra.
